Love of Sports 🏀 ⚽️🏊♀️🏄♀️🏃♀️🎳
Today marks 8 months without Avery.
Some things you may not have known about Avery and the many things she loved.
From a young age, Avery had a passion for sports and staying active. She played soccer, spent four years on a swim team, bowled in a league for two years, and played basketball for two years. She loved surfing and snowboarding and was always willing to try something new.
Running became one of her greatest passions. Avery loved participating in virtual 5K races and was an avid runner, often running four miles a day. She would get up at the crack of dawn to do her surfing conditioning workouts, showing a level of dedication and determination that inspired everyone around her.
Two of her favorite activities were cross country and track. She started both these from a very young age. In fact, it was through running that we discovered the cancer we initially thought was just a pulled muscle. Even after her cancer diagnosis, Avery's determination and love for sports never faded. She went on to join Unified Track, continuing to do what she loved and refusing to let cancer define her.
Not a day goes by that we don't think about her, miss her, and remember the incredible light she brought into our lives. I am still amazed by her strength, courage, and the love she had for so many things. Her passion for sports was never just about competition, it was about pushing herself, embracing every challenge, and living life to the fullest.
💜 We miss you every day, Avery. Your spirit lives on in every early morning workout, every mile run, every finish line crossed, and every person you continue to inspire. Forever loved. Forever remembered. 💜
